Relating to the provision of workers' compensation insurance coverage for certain Texas Task Force 1 members and intrastate fire mutual aid system team and regional incident management team members, including the removal of coverage for nongovernment members.
HB 4464 amends Texas law to clarify workers' compensation coverage for emergency response personnel. It defines "local government employee member" for Texas Task Force 1, intrastate fire mutual aid teams, and regional incident management teams, ensuring their activation service counts as regular employment. The bill specifically removes workers' compensation coverage for non-government members (like volunteers) on these teams. This change updates Education Code provisions to align with Labor Code definitions, ensuring only government-employed responders receive coverage during official activation.
